Rainbow Flower Rosette Card

Edited on 6/21/2012 - Reposted after having been removed for publication. 
Rosettes Made From EK Success Parisian Edge Punch
Flowers are one of my all time favorite embellishments to use on, well, just about everything!  The accordion folded rosettes are very simple to make and with this particular punch they fall into the super fast category as well.  Because of how the punch is designed, no scoring board is necessary.  It is easy to align the holes up and fold them free hand.

Stamped Sentiment From CTMH's Art Philosophy Collection
The sentiment is layered on a 2" scallop punch black circle. The rosettes would also look pretty layered on a scallop circle. All of the flowers have CTMH Pearl Opaques Adhesive Gems. Two of the smaller sized pearls were added as accents to the sentiment flower.  I love these little pearls.  The stems and leaves were cut freehand from CTMH Sonoma paper.  That cute little felt bird has been in my stash for over a year, it was with the Valentine's stuff on clearance at Michael's.

  2. I really like the way your rosettes came out. I have try doing those with u tube tutorials, that look easy but when I try they don't look nice. You did a very good job on your card, really like it. Elisa

    1. Hi Elisa, Thank you for your nice compliment! I think using an adhesive that you like helps a lot in making the flowers. I usually use a glue gun on a heat proof mat. The flowers on this card were glued with Liquid Glass onto a small circle underneath the blossom. It worked great but takes longer because of the drying time. Keep trying, you'll get ones that you love soon. All the best, Beverly
